Not sure if they can. Depends how long the exclusive deal (reckless thing from the beginning) with Microsoft lasts. It might be 5 years.
I think this argument is simple, beautiful, and wrong. The assumption this seems to be built upon is that Google has developed a great hiring system that is doing well for us. I think that's a bit simplistic.

The reality is that (like everything at Google), the hiring process is constantly evolving and changing. Google puts considerable effort into improving its hiring process.

So, my counterargument is this: If Google is tweaking its hiring process and trying to make it better, why shouldn't you? Don't think of it as relaxing your standards, because it isn't. Think of it as changing your standards to better suit the kind of people you want to hire.

Yeah, just as long as that sort of shit isn't in his official complaint, it's not really an issue that he's peeved about it. But that's the sort of thing that a lawyer would seize upon to try and demonstrate that someone has a distorted perspective.

If I were his editor, I'd tell him to separate the, "Dumb white hipsters being ignorant", stuff from the, "Creating a hostile working environment", part of his story. As it is, it's mixed in and undermines the seriousness of the legitimately awful treatment he was subjected to.

I guess I'm very naive, because I found this shocking. I hear about racism, but I guess I often think that things must be blown out of proportion. I mean, how can there still be such racist people out there? What kind of mental malfunction allows that kind of thinking?

This blog post has been a very sad reality check for me.
There was a point in the past when you needed an internet connection to play downloaded Steam games -- I think that's where the DRM rep comes from.

But for at least a few years, you've been able to launch steam without an internet connection.

If you want to make your own you can grab the Cubee template from here: http://www.cubeecraft.com/template.html

There's PDF and PSD; load it into Photoshop or Illustrator (or whatever works) and have at it.

I've built lots of papercraft toys, and designed a few. Half the fun is in downloading a file, printing it out, cutting it up, and ending up with something tangible.

BTW there's a copyright on this template, too. It looks identical to the Foldable.me figure.

There's tremendous satisfaction in cutting this by hand. And with the Cubee template there's far less risk of slicing yourself.
We used to do that at my previous company. We'd actually have several candidates come in together, have them form an ad-hoc team, and spend 6 hours on solving a real-world (toy) problem. With one existing team member on that test team, and a rotating team of observers.

It's a great method to hire, but it's expensive - you better make sure that the people you invite in are pre-checked quite well.

It definitely was the most fun I ever had interviewing.
I would like to second this question. Is the implementation based on a market where users buy and sell shares from each other, over some kind of exchange, or are we buying and selling shares from the site itself?

Great idea. Look forward to having a go.

But that would mean you would have to make it wider and wider. That cannot be done at O(1) time, can it? Or are they just starting a second, third, etc. tree whenever one fills up? If so, what is the benefit over adding another level? More localized disk I/O during writing? Do you have a reference?

No, because Steve is surely not one of a tiny minority of white people in the office, nor is there a clear cultural connotation/prejudice of white people being thuggish.

For whatever it's worth to you to know this: being considered thuggish, or violent, or hotheaded, or unreasonable is a hot-button issue for working black professionals. I've had neighbors complain to me that they can't disagree or argue with anything at their office, because as soon as they do, their coworkers start shaking their heads and signaling "there goes the black guy again". Knowing this, you start to see that it is also a privilege to be able to argue, even vehemently, without inadvertently confirming a malignant stereotype about your heritage or upbringing.

Either way one reads that particular point though, I agree that it isn't the most compelling in the story.

> The plane was going 140 mph at impact, which is close to regular landing speed. But the 727 was descending at 1,500 feet per minute, much faster than the 10 to 20 feet per minute of a typical airliner landing.

I have to imagine that they were thinking seconds instead of minutes. coming down from 35k feet would take quite a long time if that was not the case. (20'/min would take ~30 hours)
The JSDoc system gets in the way too much, how for instance do you type variables which is something like:

/** @type {myType} */ var thing = new myType( );

It gets way to verbose when compared to typescript which is something like:

var thing : myType = new myType( );

Interesting. I'm curious, what websites do you use that would've trained the response to simply click on a downloads link instead of looking through the results of said search? I don't have the same response and I'm honestly wondering where that expectation would have come from. When I saw the All Microsoft, Downloads, Support, Communities links I didn't have any expectation that those were suddenly related to my search term. I wonder if it is because they are below the search box instead of above them?

I'm not trolling, though. May be it's only bad luck. Shit happens, I know it as well as I know that shit can happen twice, and it seems that this just happened to me both with this new Microsoft homepage and with the then-new outlook.

I don't see any interest into pretending to encounter bugs, don't worry. :)

And I must say this homepage looks great. I like to think that if was displeased with this design, I would have closed the tab without wanting to see other pages. Instead of that, I wanted to see more and we (Microsoft and me) had bad luck. Just as I honestly liked the new Outlook interface, tried to use normally and ended up with bad luck (i.e. blocked account and buggy error message).

But you're right, I came here to complain about a coincidence and it looks like troll. I'm now wiser and see it as what it is : coincidence, bad luck. (And may be bad cookies due to Outlook problem explained earlier, since I just deleted all my Microsoft Live cookies and it fixed the problem and can now enjoy this website as everyone else. :)
I'm guessing much of the funding comes from the Japanese government. They funded the Chikyu project which resulted in a deep drilling robot they plan to reuse.
Above everything else in that story, I am most shocked by the fact that the guy Steve said to the OP something in the lines of "you should consider yourself lucky your ancestors have been slaves, so that you can work in this company". I find this statement really, really shocking, and I think the OP should have reacted strongly and put this guy to his place. It was a private meeting so there were no witnesses, but he should have done something. Take Steve out of the conference room and say "can you please repeat in front of everyone what you just said to me?".

I mean, you should be able to sue people for saying enormities like that!
Considering that the unit cost for a B2 bomber was $737M (a little over $1B with inflation), I'd say that this is a steal. Just think of things in recent days that have reached the $1B level. For this kind of science? I'd say we'd be stupid NOT to pay for it.
I don't know if the OP is reading this but he should probably be a little careful. I found it incredibly easy to track down "Steve's" Linkedin profile. While what he went through was awful, fighting a libel suit would only make this worse even if he eventually won.

It would be nice to see this potentially lead to an app store for Steam Big Picture[1]. At the moment, I think that's one huge thing it is lacking.

Sure, I can load up YouTube or Netflix in the browser. But the interface is clunky and buggy, the video playback is choppy and it often simply crashes Big Picture.

Adding apps, I think, will make it a must-have living room device for gaming, browsing the web and consuming media. And the possibilities from there are pretty much endless.

Thank you. I am sorry if it seems like I was trying to steal your inner most secrets, but I find that unless I know enough to (think) I can rebuild it I really have not understood.

What I think is exciting now is that there is a rush of new distributed solutions from many different directions - the RDBMS has held sway since the late 70s and now hierarchical and network designs are coming back I to vogue - and almost anyone can play (not that you are just anyone, but you don't need to be oracle or sybase)

part of me is missing the old certainties of rdbmses and part of me is excited - I have to know the tech and choose the best option for the domain

one final question - more business orientated. You grew a solution to meet specific business needs - how long from the first idea till live client connect was it - and was there business support for the time it would take (ie were you constantly fighting for time or were you given space and time?)

hard to answer I suspect but interested anyway

cheers

About stock images; I really don't have much of an eye for it much, but this http://o7.no/Pte5y2 to me shouts 'cheap'. From the laptop to the pose of the woman.

"Racism" does not have exact definition. It's just a label that means slightly different things in different contexts. It's an abstraction over a specific type of offensive / hateful behavior. In more in-depth discussions, I think it's better to operate beneath this abstraction, on a lower level: i.e. how much harm saying or doing something does.

In most situations, saying "dumbblack" would be more offensive for black person than "dumbwhite" for white person. Especially in this case. It's like if you had a couple of bad experiences with the police, you could start saying offensive things about police officers in general. You could be accused of "policism" but in fact, it would be quite understandable reaction. When he said "dumbwhite", he was kind of "revenging" their racism, which is very different from saying "dumbwhite" just because he disrespects white people.

Are you serious? Or just insensitive? And how many nails are needed until you can safely say he's in his coffin ready to be buried? The issue that I have with the whole "don't even go to college/university, just start a startup" is that most colleges/universities will teach you at least something about gender and racial issues. That's not to say everybody that goes through college doesn't come out racist at the end, but at least most people who aren't dense, come out with a bigger understanding of what issues there are for the less privileged, especially if they are not one of the less privileged. You seem to be in big hurry to discredit this guy, I would say you and other people like you just put a nail in your red-neck coffin.
I don't necessarily disagree, but it's possible that they were talking about the rate of descent at the point of impact, rather than the the rate of descent over the whole course of descending from cruising altitude to landing.

> When was the last time a white person was killed for being white

You're not helping your cause by making ridiculous statements. The most recent one I could find was 2 weeks ago. http://kstp.com/news/stories/s2778011.shtml

You have to go here to see the police report: http://lakeminnetonka.patch.com/articles/arrest-made-in-conn...

But you have to understand the rules of the game. Unless a black person is literally shouting "die whitey" while stomping someone to death, then it's not a hate crime when a black person attacks a white person, regardless of actual motivation or lack thereof. It's just another random senseless crime and not part of a pattern. See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_an...
It’s rude because avolcano is clearly excited about this premise and rodly is just ridiculing his/her excitement. There’s no objective basis to what is incredible.
For a standard 3-degree ILS approach, the descent rate is 318 ft per nautical mile. With a ground speed of 150 knots, that would be about 750 ft/minute. At higher altitudes and before the ILS, descent rates are usually higher, sometimes up to 3'000 or 4'000 ft with a default rate of 1'500 ft per minute.
It's a press release (well really a comment made to the press) used as a nice link-bait filler news article. Drew Curtis of Fark.com fame wrote a great book with this and more examples of news industry behavior that is even more true in the link-bait world.

Interesting. Now that I think about it a tldr could be "Use segmentation for UX" ;)

(segmentation = groups = clustering)

I was thinking a bit further on this last night, and thought why not use evolutionary methods as well?

In other words we don't design the UX, we let it emerge and cluster around segments naturally. Kind of like if you took the concepts from genetic programming and mixed it with UX.
A friend once advised me, to seriously and intently ask such people "what the fuck is wrong with you?" (and possibly shake your head a bit in a confused mildly disgusted manner). Then walk away, because whatever they have to say is not going to be worth your time.

The one time I applied this, it netted me a rather sincere apology half an hour later, so I guess it has some merit in at least some of the situations.

Ah yes, I didn't notice that it was only for that particular repository.
i personally found mine an outstanding mobile computing experience, but as a phone it was pretty mediocre. the ergonomics of holding it to your ear weren't all that great, and they never did fix the bug where it took so long to swap the phone app in that the caller hung up.

what finally made me give up on it and move to android, though, was the (also never fixed) bug where the gps would take anywhere from 20 minutes to forever to get a lock.

that said, i am very tempted to move back to meego if this effort takes off and has decent hardware. i loved how easy and pleasant it was to write little personal apps for the n900.
Increasingly there are going to be people like me who don't trust Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc... enough to have an account (or, at least, a real one) with them. So using them for logging in somewhere else isn't helpful.

ONLY being able to use them to log in somewhere else is obviously a reason to never sign up with that "somewhere else" site altogether.

Channeling Star Trek: Researchers to Begin Fusion Impulse Engine Experiments
Actually that's not quite accurate. The Closure Compiler doesn't need you to tell it that `thing` is a myType, it knows that, asuming myType is defined in your compiled code, or you provide an extern specifying what myType means. And I might be wrong about that last bit even; the compiler may always know that `new Foo` returns a {Foo} regardless of context ... I would have to check the compiler source to be certain.

Also, I think that the first example is more likely to be written as follows (in the case where type data cannot be inferred):

/**
* Description of the variable.
*
* @type {my.UnionType}
*/
var foo = { ... };

Whatever "..." may be. It's common to document the meaning of variables where explicit typing like this is important, just like in well-documented Java and PHP code.
